~Chapter 1: Slaughter~
Yusuke Urameshi. Amazingly skilled ningen spirit world detective. Friends of Botan, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, and many others. And don't forget his girlfriend, Keiko.
And he just happened to be strolling down the street, gleeful at the fact he had at least a day to himself, and not a single case to pursue thanks to Koenma.
Shiny black shoes and his normal attire of green adorned him, but his gelled, black hair and those few strands of wild bangs finished off his bad ass look.
But today.. Wasn't going to be fun and games like he had planned it. Skip school, as normal, then meet up with Kuwabara and Keiko after it was out for a night at the movies and arcade.
That mood changed oh-too suddenly.
One shiny black shoe was placed in front of the other... until something splashed beneath it. Pulling out of his daydream of Keiko, he managed to look down, and put on a face of disgust.
"Now what idiot would but ketchup all over the ground?!" He lifted up his foot, and gave it a shake, letting the red fluid splattered.
Splattered thinly, not thick like ketchup. He paused, and starred in disbelief.
Blood.
Eyes starred staring down at this odd sight, before moving upwards, and across the street. He gasped. Blood, everywhere. Severed body parts, guts splattered across the sidewalk. Bones laid here or there, purposefully ripped from inside the body parts they used to uphold.
Yusuke grimaced, and stepped backwards. It was horrid, all these dead people. His own kind, ningens (humans). He looked over the wreckage of humanity before him, before finally realizing something.
The souls had been stolen, not freed and allow to go to spirit world. How he could tell, he wasn't sure. The orb of Baast couldn't have done it - Koenma didn't mention it being stolen again. But, either way, it had to have been a youkai (demon) who did this. No one else could.
The sound of police sirens reached his ears, so he turned and fled, not wanting to be caught there. They might think he was the murderer, or just catch him for skipping school AGAIN.
He'd just have to stay home for a little while, until he could meet up with his friends. But that didn't take long - he stopped in his tracks as he reached the school... and found out they were dismissing? Early?
He would shaken out of his idiotic phase when he saw a very upset, and near tears Keiko being comforted by Kuwabara.
"Keiko, it's okay. I'm sure Urameshi's just at his house or 'sumthing." Kuwabara said, patting Keiko on the back.
"B-but what if it was him on the streets?! I'll never forgive him!" Tears almost broke over Keiko's eyes, but faded when she saw Yusuke. "YUSUKE!"
"Hey, nice dress." Yusuke grinned, until Keiko came up and slapped him across the cheek, sending him plummeting to the ground. "Ouch! Hey, what was that for?!"
"You selfish idiot! I told you that you should never skip! What-what if that was you out on the streets?!" She began pounding, without strength, on his chest when he got up, not even comforted by his arms around her. "The school dismissed early so we could go home! It's so.. So awful!"
"What's awful?" He gazed down at her, keeping his arms around her in the most comforting way possible.
"The slaughter, Urameshi! Don't tell me you didn't hear?!" Kuwabara's gruff voice answered for the now tear-stricken Keiko. "All those people... or, their body parts... the man slaughter! For no reason! And they have no idea who did it! Not a clue was left, besides the fact they think it was done with a Katana, and someone with great skill..."
"Katana? Skill? Kuwabara, you don't think... Hiei?" Yusuke looked up, and almost whispered so Keiko wouldn't pick up on his words.
"What, that shrimp?! He may hate us humans, but he wouldn't do that! I mean, please, the midget wouldn't have the guts with us around!" An actual grin over came Kuwabara's face. So cocky.
"Wouldn't have the guts you say?" Both of the boys turned around, to see Hiei sitting in a tree, watching both intently. Kurama was on the ground, leaning against the tree trunk, looking as morbid as ever.
"Hehehehe... you know I was kidding!" Kuwabara took a step back, placing one hand behind his carrot-orange hair covered head.
"Of course you were, and Hiei knew all along. Right?" Yusuke grinned at both of them, before looking down at Keiko. "Maybe you should get home, before anything else happens, okay?"
"Okay, Yusuke.. Just don't die!" Keiko tore herself from Yusuke and went running down the sidewalk, in the perfect school girl fashion.
"Sure thing, Keiko!" Yusuke watched her with dreamy eyes, before he was rudely awakened by the sounds of laughter.
"They say true love is a hard thing to find... " Kurama's sweet voice rung out, a grin on his lips.
"Indeed." Hiei was too busy laughing to say much of anything.
Kuwabara was on the ground, fists beating into the sidewalk. He seemed to be trying to say something, but his jaunts were hidden by his laughter.
But they were soon all silenced.
Yusuke just managed to duck out of the way, as a small knife-like object came whizzing by his head, clipping off some air, and buried itself in the sidewalk. It was a mini Tantos, it seemed. And to it was pinned a message... written in...
"Ketchup?" Kuwabara asked, looking over to it. "Who would write in ketchup?"
"No, blood." Yusuke said, as the four gathered around, two ningens and two youkai. Yusuke read the note, first to himself, then out loud.
